Antique 1920s Lonville Pocket Watch and Chain

Antique 1920s Lonville pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a Swiss seven jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is not signed but has been identified as a Lonville piece.

Lonville was part of the Langendorf Watch Company, a well respected Swiss watch making company and they traded for exactly 100 years from 1873, and the name has recently been revived. They used several brand names including Lanco, Larex and Lancyl.

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and it is in good condition with just the usual general light surface marks, nothing serious at all.

The glass lens is in good condition, as is the dial with blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch comes with a single chain, 32cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. It is a slightly different colour to the watch but they sit nicely together.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
